condition (record/cover): NM / NM - Tres Gráficos / Tablas on Deutsche Grammophon pairs Maurice Ohana with Antonio Ruiz-Pipó, Spanish guitarist and composer who shared Ohana's Mediterranean sensibility. The "three graphics" suggest visual scores or visual thinking translated into sound; the "tablas" refer to Indian percussion, rhythmic complexity borrowed from subcontinental practice.
Ohana traveled widely in imagination if not always in body, absorbing influences that stricter composers would have rejected as impure. Ruiz-Pipó's presence confirms the Iberian connection, two composers working adjacent territories. Deutsche Grammophon's yellow label grants prestige that specialized imprints couldn't provide, introducing Ohana to audiences who might never encounter Le Chant Du Monde or other French outlets.
